Reviews of GoodLife Fitness Mount Pearl Richard Nolan and Merchant Drive (Gym)

I am traveling and needed a quick place to workout. They were doing day passes but when they told me 30 dollars for a one day drop in... at 9pm and they close at 10...I was floored and they couldn't give me a reason for the insane price. I have been to huge citys and independent gyms from Canada to America and never that insane for a day pass. This is why good life gets its shady rep from.

It's gone a little downhill the past couple years with new management. They keep moving everything around. The stretching equipment is in the middle of the elliptical and other cardio equipment instead of the upstairs part of the gym, making it more uncomfortable to use, which is terrible for people with anxiety or low self-esteem. I still enjoy going there at times but I don't go as much as I used to and I'm looking for other gyms to go to eventually.

Best location for women ! Love the private area ????

Stephen Mouland

Great gym but they have a min of a year contract. I prefer the summit centre for this reason.

My favorite Goodlife in the St. John's area. The free weight space is a little cramped but has a nice sized artificial turf area for conditioning workouts in the winter.

Love the women’s only section, and the fact that it’s 24 hours means you can workout whenever you want. This gym can be rather busy at times since it’s the only one in Mount Pearl so people from all over go there.

The banking account info contract exists only to guarantee cancellation funds. In many cases across Canada, even if you give them enough time to cancel your membership, they will act as though they didn't hear you. Then, if you try to call the head office, you get the run around forever and end up having to close your bank account because they keep taking money out of your account. Goodlife is a racket that thrives on bank account contracts that ultimately screw you. It is $90 a month without a year contract. In other words, they make you pay double to get out of their bank account contract scam. The Summit Centre in Mount Pearl does not do the bank account scam, you just pay as you go and because of this it is the better option. Go research Goodlife Fitness reviews, it is horror story after horror story. Never give your banking information because if you do, you have a difficult time getting out of it. They don't have to answer you if you call, and if you ask to talk to a manager at the head office they say "We don't escalate calls here." Case in point, Goodlife is a criminal scam corporation.

Love the stretching area right outside of group fitness so that you can stretch out before classes, I appreciate the more private stretching area just upstairs if your a bit anxious or shy and love the womens only section with cardio equipment where you only have to walk in through the double doors to access. It's awesome that they lock the doors at nights which helps me feel safer during my midnight workouts and I would highly recommend talking to the motivators and management for alternative workouts when the equipment is being maintained they are all so insightful.

Great gym and a lot of space. Can be busy at peak hours, though, because the are a lot of classes offered. Seldom enough parking.

So frustrating dealing with this company. I had a membership here for several years. Over that time I realized the borderline scam tactics that Goodlife uses to squeeze every dollar it can out of it's members. On top of the premium cost they charge for membership, they require tangly 1 year contracts, before which you'll have to pay a $100 cancellation fee. The equipment at this location gets very heavy use, it's not uncommon to have multiple people lined up to use machines and not a single treadmill available for use. The same equipment has been run-down for the whole time I've been a member there(years). Equipment with adjustable parts have the holes for various positions reamed out and will slip between positions when under strain. Mix-matched equipment parts that do not properly fit the benches/cable machines. My girlfriend also cancelled her membership due to the high volume of people there and state of the equipment, but this was not a reasonable excuse to cancel according to goodlife so she was charged a $100 cancellation fee, AND her next payment which would not be charged for several weeks. On top of that, they will not allow you to cancel over the phone so you have to physically visit a goodlife location to provide the exact same information that you could over the phone. Just another way to extend your membership a little longer and charge you more money. When I visited a location to cancel I was informed that even though my membership would be cancelled, on top of the payment that was being charged that day, they would still be charging me for the NEXT payment in 2 weeks time. There was no manager on staff that I could argue this with so I tried calling their 1-800 number... due to high call volumes, they are not accepting any more calls...?! This is a national company and you can't get someone on the phone. Do yourself and your community a favor and support local, get a membership at a locally operated gym that actually cares about it's members more than lining their pockets. That's what I did and I have no complaints.

The best personal trainers for aging bodies. I am in better shape in my 70s than I was in my 50s.

Lots of cardio equipment, a little lacking when it comes to some machines

Friendly professional staff. Clean facility. Pandemic measures in place.

Not sure what changed in last two weeks, but nothing better than driving over hr in to gym to find out they starting making bookings again.

Rod O

Staff is best kind but does anyone else feel like Jigsaw is gonna pop out and ask you if "You want to play a game?" when taking a shower? Looks like the beginning scene of Saw in those bathrooms. Yikes
